When structuring a deal, what might work for one person, may not work for the other.

It closely aligns with the principles of the BRRRR method.Low Risk of Natural DisastersNatural disasters can wreak havoc on your property and the surrounding community, causing job losses and the closure of businesses, which often forces residents to relocate.

Until I am considering building cash flow with launch an ATM business then using that cash flow to invest into BRRRR deals and then BTR deals. 

I personally couldnt return to lock the garage.

I contribute that much monthly any way as my side business helps to get me where I want when I retire. 

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: A few things there, Brendan.First, an LLC with you as a member and your (wife, son, pal, etc.) partner as a 1% member will file a Form 1065 which is about one tenth as likely to be audited by the IRS as a Form 1040 with a Schedule E rental activity (which I presume you will attempt to show is an active business).Second, you want an LLC because when your local Alabama handyman drives his girlfriend's uninsured truck into a van load of U of A medical school interns on I-22 when he goes  to get some shingles for your roof, on your business, you don't lose everything you have or ever will have to an uninsured claim. 

That's the first place to start.I can tell you what to invest in and where - but you won't listen unless you really understand this business first.

I personally am interested in creating a long-term rental portfolio but I'd be interested in hearing any strategy, ie. house flipping, short term rentals etc.

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?
